DOLL.

Application lcil February 2 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS V. ARoNsoN, a citizen of the United States anda resident of Newark, in the county of ssex and State of New Jersey,liaveinvented certain n ew and useful Improvements in Dolls, of whichthe following is a s eciiication. n

The invention re ates to improvements in toys as dolls, more articularlyto such as are provided with ta king or sound emitting It has for itsobject to enable some part or parts of the doll proper to move when thesound emitting mechanism is actuated and to construct the doll in suchamanner that, if desired, said movement will not interfere with thenormal movement or the position of said parts.

In the accompanyin drawing which illustrates the invention, igure 1 is afront elevation and Fig2a side elevation of the improved doll.` ig.`8 isa detail view illustrating the attachment of the arm members.

Similar characters of reference designate corresponding partsthroughoutthe several views.

Referring to the drawin 11 designates the body portion proper which isconstructed in any suitable manner and is herein shown v as a hollowsemi-cylindrical body open at the front. To the inner walls of said bodyis fixedly attached one member 12 vof the sound emitting mechanism, thesame being shown by way of example as a spring distended bellows andwhose movable member 13 extends from said body portion and preferablyoutwardly from the front thereof. In pressing upon said movable member asuitable sound will be emitted by a whistle 14 or other sound producingdevice-which may be attached, for example,to the member 12 as shown.

To the lower part of the body 11 may be pivotally attached the legs 15by means of suitable resilient washers 16 and pin 16', as is wellunderstood. The arms 17, however, are not as heretofore attacheddirect-ly to the body but are pivotally attached by resilient washers 18and pin 19 to ears 20 at opposite ends of a plate 21 which is xedlysecured to the outer and movable member 13 of the bellows. The arms 17,therefore, may efiect a movement independent of the member 18 to whichthey are frictionally held by the said washers withl suillcient strengthto maintain any positionv in whiehthey are lpooineation o!

placed and will, furthermore, partake of any movement of the member 13when the same is actuated. To plate 21 is iixedly secured, moreover, aplate 22 whichcarries the head of the doll, and the latter will thus becaused to follow the movements of the bellows member 18, the extent ofmovement of both head and arms bein indicated by the position shown indotte lines. The doll is thus provided with movable arms and legs, theformer as well as the head of the doll being further movable when thedoll is caused to emit a sound by pressing upon the bellows or the like.

I claim 1. A ligure toy, comprising a body and one or more movable partsattached thereto, sound emitting mechanism mounted on said body andhaving a. portion adapted to be moved to cause said' mechanism torespond,

said movable part or parte being connected to said movable portion ofthe sound emitting mechanism, and means for holding said movable part orparts in different adjustments.

2. A figure toy, comprising a body and one or more movable partsattached thereto, sound emitting mechanism mounted on said body andhaving a portion' adapted to be moved to cause saidmechanism to respond,said movable part or parts being connected to said movable portion ofthe sound emitting mechanism, and resilient washers between said movablepart or parts and the said body.

8. A doll, comprising a body portion, sound emitting mechanism mountedthereon and having a portionadapted to be moved to cause said mechanismto respond, and arms pivotally attached to said movable member.

4. A doll, comprising a body portion, sound emitting mechanism mountedthereon and having a portion adapted to be moved to cause said mechanismto respond, a head attached to said movable member. and arms pivotallyattached to said lmovable member.

5. A doll, comprising a body portion, and a bellows and sound emittindevice attached thereto, legs pivotally attac ied to said body portion,ahead fixe'dly attached to the movable member of said bellows, and armspiv otally attached to said member.

A doll, comprising a bodv portion, and a bellows and sound emittingdevice attached thereto, a plate secured to the movable memlll) ber ofsaid bellows aud'provided with eers at the sides, and arms pifotalyattached to said ears.
